PTC Fundraiser with Stephanie Anestis Photography
|
|
Only three spots remain for the 'photo duet' mini-sessions with photographer Stephanie Anestis. Stephanie, a Foote mom and family photographer, is offering the sessions as a fundraiser for the PTC on April 24 at two locations: Edgerton Park in New Haven (morning) and Stony Creek in Branford (afternoon).
These 10-minute sessions are to highlight a special relationship: mother and child, father and child, grandparent and child, aunt or uncle with niece or nephew, etc., and would make a perfect gift for grandparents or a spouse.
Your $150 donation to the Foote School PTC includes the session, five low-resolution, watermarked digital images for online posting, and two archival 8x10 prints of the image of your choice, handmade by Stephanie.
To sign up, click here to select a time slot and bring a check for $150 made out to the Foote School PTC to the main office.
